Hi there, I have been doing a lot of reading of the “Airplane Flying Handbook” that I downloaded from the FAA site…I’m really enjoying reading the book..
Thanks guys for recommending the book to me awhile back

I will also recommend Stick and Rudder. It is an old book but over the years has literally become the textbook for any aviator.

Will also recommend Rod Machado’s Private PIlot Handbook if the FAA books start to become unfunny to you for any reason

Didn’t Rod Machado collaborate on the lessons on FS2004 or one of the earlier versions?
Thank you guys!
If you like to watch try these.
MIT Ground School
Another good one is The Killing Zone
This book can save your life. If it isn’t the book most recommended by CFI’s, it should be.
This survival guide for new pilots identifies the pitfalls waiting inside the killing zone, the period from 50 to 350 flight hours when they leave their instructors behind and fly as pilot in command for the first time. Although they’re privately certified, many of these unseasoned aviators are unaware of the potential accidents that lie ahead while trying to build decision-making skills on their own – many times falling victim to inexperience.
Based on the first in-depth scientific study of pilot behavior and general aviation flying accidents in over 20 years, The Killing Zone, Second Edition offers practical advice to help identify the time frame in which you are most likely to die. Author and aviation specialist Paul Craig offers rare insights into the special risks new pilots face and includes updated preventive strategies for flying through the killing zone . . . alive.
